Brume

Some days start out really foggy. Actually, sometimes the fog lingers
until well after noon and it gives backlit life an almost black and white feel... What you are seeing here is the view from the
north wing of the palace across the honour courtyard towards Saint-Louis cathedral (yes, that'd be
the dome there approximately in the middle). These photos have been taken from more or less the same spot as this one had.

About

Welcome to Versailles! By European standards, it is a very young town that sprang out of marshes towards the end of the 17th century for a king's whim. Nowadays, a city a stone's throw from Paris with just over 86 000 inhabitants, a famous palace (UNESCO world heritage site) that millions visit every year and... a place to photograph! A brief chronology is available in this sidebar if you scroll down.
